HOD.

Application tiled December 13, 1926.

The present invention relates to improvements in hods, and refers moreparticularly toa hod for carrying mortar, although it may be used forthe general purposes to which hods are put.

A11 object of the invention is to provide a hod which will besubstantially leakprooi', durable and resistant to the rough usage giventhese devices, of simple construction and inexpensive manufacture.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention will be morefully dcscribed hereinafter, and will be more particularly pointed outin the claims appended hereto.

In the drawings, wherein like symbols rcler to like or correspondingparts througlb fout the several views,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of an "iinnroved had constructedaccording tu the present invention. i

Figure 2 is an end elevation thereof. Figure is an opposed endelevation. Figure et is an enlarged fragmentary section taken on theline 4-4 in Figure 5.

Figure 5 is a side elevation with parts broken away and parts shown insection.

Figure 6 is a perspective View of one of the sides.

Figure 7 is a perspective view of the end or back.

Figure 8 is a similar 'view of the connecting rail, and i Figure 9 isalso a perspective view of a cross brace employed.

Referring more particularly to the draw ings, the hod is shown ascomposed in general of the sides 10 and 11, the end or back 12, theconnecting or joining rail 1,3. and the handle 1st part only ol' whichis shown in the d awings, The sides 10 and 11 are assembled in V-shape:formation upon the joining rail 13 and the hod is open above and at oneend in accordance with the preveiling construction.

The particular' cm'istruction of cach side i'iiember is shown in -Figuret3. The side .is made 'from ,wood or other appropriate ruaterialsubstantially rectangular in cross section and of appropriate thicknessto permit of receiving near one end the transversely extending groove15. This groove extends completely across the side member, is pre erablygenerally parallel with the ends thereof, and is located close to theend'ol the hdd havingthe back member 12, the

Serial No. 154,513.

side edges of which arc intended to be received into the grooves 15. Theside walls 16 of the grooves are, therefore, preferably made atsubstantially right angles to the bottom wall and present abruptshoulders taking against the side edges of the back member l2 to hindsaid haelt member against any casual longit'utflinal movement in the,hod. The back member l2 conversely spaces the sides lll and ll'andprevents collapse thereof.

Still,referring more particularly to Figure 6. the sides are Vformedwith beads or tongu s 7 extending alongl the lower edges and.Jterniediatclyv ot the lower edges, whereby to leave the shoulders 1Sand 19 at opposit sides` ol the tongues, which tongues are prelcrably attheir tree or exposed ends rounded or curved. rl`he tongues or` beadsare also of substantial thickness and are uni- 'l'orm in crossl sectionthroughout, except where they groove l5 intersects such tongue, thetongue being eut away at one side to per mit of uniformity in the crosssection of the groove. It will be noted that the shoulder 19 at the oneside is preferably narrower than the shoulder 19 at the outside edge asthis outside shoulder will sustain most otl the weight of the side pieceand a substantial area ofv contact is ronsefpientlv desired. rl`he sidepiece in Figure t3 is' further n1odified by the production therein o1the slot 2() made diagonally therethrough between the groove 1o and thenear end ol the side piece. This slot Qt) is also made near the upperedge ot' the side piece. The purpose of the slots 20 is to receive thecross brace 91, shown more particular-lv in Figure i), as liaving thebeveled endsl Q2 and it to agree with the outside surl'aresy ol' the.side pieces l() and 1l, ,into the plant-.sI ot which Asaid beveledbrace ends project through the slots 2t). The brace '2l secured, as bythe nails or other tastenings to the bark or end piece 1Q, and as by thefasteningi'i to the ends of the side pieces lt) and l1. 'lhc brace 2lthus extends outwardly ol' the back piece 12, this haelt picco being asusual cxtteiuled up above the side pieces 1t) and 1i l and havingitsupper edge rounded. i

.the end piece 12, is shown more particul'arly in Figure 7, as beinggenerally rectangular in'form, except for the rounded upper edge and'for the truncated lower apex 26, which is adapted to titin thetransverse groove 27 made in the upper surface of the ltili joining'isii ifi., which shown io odvonsge in Figure Ioining :"aii, .is oise ofgenerziiiy iouz'ingu si form, but having' lower renioiged or muneoiedend forming :i fiel? shouieiei7 28.
